Have you thought about temp agencies? Their job is to find you a job. They do all the job hunting, they ask you about your skills, the type of job you're looking for, and the minimum amount you'll work for and whether you want FT or PT. I'm guessing even if you don't have any skills, they'll still be able to find you a good fit. And the best part is the ball is entirely in your court. They can offer you a job and you can say yes or no. But the advice I've been given is that if you accept a position you need to stick to it until the contract is over. Show up to work every day and be on time. Not sure what to say about the lack of transportation. They may be able to find work close by or near a bus stop.

You may have been dealt a shi**y hand, but you're not a loser. Losers give up. Losers are moochers and expect everything given to them. It sounds like you're in a horrible place but you're willing to succeed despite your obstacles. Sounds like a hero in the making to me. ((hugs))
